Parents

Bullying

No one deserves to be the victim of bullying. Bullying in football is defined as a form of abuse and Senrab F.C. will not condone bullying under any circumstances.

Bullying can be defined as:

 

1.     Physical hitting, kicking and theft

2.     Verbal: name calling, constant teasing, sarcasm, racism, sexist or homophobic taunts, comments about disability, threats and gestures. This is not 'banter' – it is hurtful and batters self esteem.

3.     Emotional: tormenting, social media and texting abuse, ridiculing, humiliating and isolating.

 

The bully in football can be:

 

1.     The parent that pushes too hard

2.     An intimidating child/young person

3.     A coach who has a 'win at all costs' philosophy

4.     An official who places unfair pressure on a child.

 

All of the above mentioned behaviour is not tolerated at Senrab F.C. and will be dealtwith under the afore mentioned Parent/Player Misconduct Procedures.

 

 

Please make sure you read and understand the above terms and conditions.

By registering your child with Senrab F.C. you agree to be bound by these rules.
